◊ take precise measurements using specialized equipment (e.g.) a tape measure, a scale ◊ make indirect measurements using geometry and trigonometry ◊ measure curved or irregular surfaces ◊ measure an angle ◊ calculate amounts required (e.g.) the number of tiles required for a floor ◊ calculate areas, perimeters, volumes ◊ calculate total load weights ◊ calculate a percentage ◊ calculate a trajectory ◊ calculate ratio, average, rate, proportion ◊ use scientific notation, powers, roots ◊ use formulae, equations, algebraic problems • data analysis math (analysis of numerical data) ◊ analysis of statistics ◊ determining what is higher, lower or bigger, smaller ◊ compare a numerical read-out to a range of numbers considered acceptable ◊ compare rates, averages, etc. ◊ calculate average rates of return on investments ◊ compare monthly sales volumes ◊ make projections ◊ calculate impacts of different variables on pay and benefits packages • numerical estimation (tasks that involve any estimation that results in a number) ◊ estimate amount of material to be used ◊ estimate time a task will take ◊ estimate costs ◊ estimate load weights ◊ estimate numbers of workers required ◊ estimate time available ◊ estimate amounts that can be produced from raw materials ◊ estimate number that will be sold Some considerations: ◊ the need to use specific math foundations (math skills, concepts or knowledge areas): • number concepts: whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, percentages, powers/roots, scientific notation, significant digits. (Workers read, write, count, round-off, add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers.) • number patterns and relations: formulae, equations, rates, ratios, proportion • shape and special sense: areas, perimeters and volumes, measurement conversions, geometry and trigonometry (using sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant ratios to solve the unknown side of an angle or triangle) • statistics and probability: calculating averages, analysing data, using mathematical theories of probability
◊ how workers make calculations (in their heads, using pen and paper, using calculators, using computers) ◊ the need to use specific measurement tools to measure time, weight or mass, distance, liquid volume, temperature, pressure, wattage, volts, angles, density, etc. ◊ the measurement system used – Imperial or System International (SI) and the need to perform measurement conversions between systems. ◊ the types of measurement units used (e.g., hours, kilograms, kilometres, cubic metres, degrees, litres, metres, kilohertz, calories, etc.) and the need to perform measurement conversions within the same measurement system. Imperial vs. System International (SI): Both Imperial and SI are systems of measuring units. Each system identifies official units of measure which can be used in jurisdictions where each system is designated. Many people mistakenly believe that there is a system of measurement in Canada called the metric system; in fact, SI became Canada’s official measurement system in 1970. Oral Communication Oral Communication refers to the use of speech by workers to exchange thoughts, ideas and information. It also refers to listening as part of the communication process and to the use of hand signals as a support to oral communication. Types of oral communication: • listening with little or no interaction (listening to voice mail) • speaking with little / no interaction (making announcements, leaving voice messages) • interacting with co-workers and colleagues • interacting with subordinates • interacting with supervisors • interacting with clients, customers, the general public • interacting with outside agents such as suppliers or service people • participating in group discussions • presenting information to large or small groups Workers engage in oral communication: • to take messages • to receive information or explanations • to seek or obtain information • to coordinate work with others • to reassure or comfort • to exchange opinions (to discuss) • to persuade • to facilitate or lead a group • to instruct • to negotiate • to entertain • to provide information or explanations Oral communication can involve exchanges that occur in person, via the telephone, by radio, and increasingly over the Internet through Voice Over IP.
